This is important; keep this in mind when it comes to any sort of political, sociological, cultural, or anthropological discourse about the Muslim female experience that deliberately excludes Muslim women. Keep this in mind when everyone is in awe at a non-Muslim woman who played dress-up one day and then wrote about the Hijab and when she is given more of space, audience and importance than Muslim women who, time and again, have talked about their experiences that, shockingly, go beyond wearing a scarf on your head for a day, week, or month. Pay attention to the silencing of Muslim women.

True gender equality is actually perceived as inequality. A group that is made up of 50% women is perceived as being mostly women. A situation that is perfectly equal between men and women is perceived as being biased in favor of women.
And if you don’t believe me, you’ve never been a married woman who kept her family name. I have had students hold that up as proof of my “sexism.”
My own brother told me that he could never marry a woman who kept her name because “everyone would know who ruled that relationship.” Perfect equality – my husband keeps his name and I keep mine – is held as a statement of superiority on my part.

Also the study where they had women and men talking in a discussion and when women spoke around 30% of the time, men perceived them as dominating the discussion. They didn’t consider it “equal” until something like 5-10% of women talking. (via dumbthingswhitepplsay)

Voila. A beautiful example of why fighting for equality becomes a gross exaggeration in the eyes of the oppressors. (via curiouslycool)
